News - Soap Buzz

Finally! Fantastic news for Days of our Lives fans and those of the beloved super couple Jack and Jennifer! Matthew Ashford announced very late last evening via his facebook, and it has been confirmed, that he is returning to the role he made soap-famous, Jack Deveraux!

Matthew posted this statement: “I wish to make an announcement. I am happy to report that I will be returning to NBC’s Days of our Lives as the character of Jack Devereaux sometime later this month. I do not know any real specifics but look forward to this opportunity to play jack and work with old and new friends. More news forthcoming soon. Thank you for all your support!”

This is tremendous news for fans of the series and Jack and Jennifer who have been lobbying for months to get Ashford back to his rightful place in Salem. Now that Jennifer played by Melissa Reeves is striking up a romantic relationship with Dr. Daniel (Shawn Christian) you can see where Jack’s return can now figure into this equation, and make for some dramatic and romantic upcoming story, as DAYS plan to re-set itself and re-establish some of its past glory. Stay tuned.

It never made sense that Jack Deveraux, who was not John or Bo, who hated the outdoors, would go on a walkabout; it never made sense that Jack who was never religious would do something spiritual as doing a walkabout and then going to India to stay at an ashram. Hopefully there is more to the story. No one has spoken to Jack, only read his out-of-character blogs. Hopefully Jack is in hiding to protect his family, or better still taken hostage. And this time, not by Stefano, but by Lawrence, who was Jack’s nemesis — Jack more than Bo tangled with Lawrence. With Vivian on the show, and Carly, and the things he did to Jennifer and Bo, it would bring in many characters to an umbrella storyline. And please, BASTA, with the out-out-character Jack as silly. Make this experience revert him to his darker, angst ridden, cynical self. And work from there. And no sex between Jennifer and Dan, he is a sleazy doctor and that is not Jennifer Rose Horton Deveraux Deveraux.

But Matthew’s return is the one thing which will get me back to watching. Matthew does so much in the role and is so talented. Let him be Jack of pre-1991.

Oh yes I totally agree. Jenn is not herself… when she returned to Salem I knew that there was something different about her and that was Jack was missing from her life. She is a wonderful actress, don’t get me wrong, but she is better with Matt at her side… they are wonderful together… I truly cannot wait for this to happen…

Zip-i-dee-doo-da! Days has been so awful lately. It’s a ray of light! My favorite “Days” character/actor back on the screen—I just hope the writing is good. I’d like to add my plea that Jack be written as Sally suggests, more pre-1991. Clever & witty, yes. Buffoon—no! Yes, let’s bring back some angst and darkness when he comes back with a good reason for being gone and walks into the current mess. Time for Jennifer to have to regain his trust this time around!

Yes, Jack’s humor was more sardonic and intellectual, and it was a mask. Jack was not a clown, but a darker character. The humor was born out of his cynicism and self-loathing for the horrible things he had done, not because he was a doof. Jack was cultured and sophisticated born out of his upbringing, but he also was socially awkward and slightly nerdy, but not over-the-top so. All this was Matthew’s doing. And back in the 80s and early 90s TPTB worked with this and added it to his character.

Despite the terrible treatment Matthew received from 1991 onward he loves the show, loves working with his fellow actors, and loves Jack — though never an apologist for him; he has always wanted to return. And he has a fan following. And I am sure, if allowed to play REALJack not the butchered version he would gain newbies as fans as well.

I just read that Dena is OUT at Days as writer,,,,,
and when Jack comes back I hope he brings Lucas Allie John Black and Tony with him to stay for ever and ever….and I hope Dool brings back writer Sheri Anderson back home so Days want go off the air next. JJ

So excited to see Jack is coming back! I just hate that they are making him out to be some huge creep that doesn’t care about his family!! I haven’t been happy with some of the storylines. I despise the Taylor/ EJ story, PLEASE!! Jack will keep me watching!!

I think that Jack should move on because I am tired of Jennifer leading men on and I am sick tired of her playing this game I am torn stuff if she wants Daniel then let Jack go and let him move on with his life the man suffer enough of her men of the year. Jennifer is one who needs to grow up not Jack. Jennifer deserves that loser Daniel I want see Jack with new love for change and if Jennifer wants then let her be one to win him back on her own. Jennifer needs major therapy, she is setting bad example for Abby she has no indedepence and always needing man she is beyond pathetic.

Well if Jennifer going to keep kissing Daniel and sleeping with him because I am not falling for crap I hate her I find her disgusting bitch. I really want see Jack paired up with someone else more fiesty and fun and also make Jack more sexy and not sexless I want him to get some loving too and if it is not with that whore Jennifer then let him be with Billie or Nicole I stop making Jack all about slut Jennifer she is pathetic whore deserves that loser Daniel. Jack deserves better but I want him to be close to Abby and Jack jr he can push Jennifer away I cannot stand her anymore.

I want jack to find out that Jennifer slept with Daniel after three months and had sex too and feel really hurt that he cannot trust her anymore and tells her to stay with Daniel. I am sick tired of Jennifer playing games with men at all I hope she gets dump by both men I think she deserves what coming to her she treats men like crap and she thinks she is perfect and she is not. Her and Daniel deserve each other I hope when Billie comes she is pair up with romantically this time and let Jennifer suffer with jealousy and with that loser Daniel it is high time Jennifer gets what coming to her. I want Jack to be happy for once I do not think he is happy with Jennifer at this moment divorcing him and moving on quickly with that loser without knowing the facts I do not know how she became reporter at all she is dump and stupid. I hope Jack jr gives her hard time she deserves it. Jennifer is one who needs to grovel not Jack.

Abby is nut case she needs tell her slutty mother that she needs to work things out with Jack stop playing games leading Daniel on like that. Her father never was unfaitful to Jennifer he runs away or something but he always love Jennifer it is her mother who has major abandonment issues and I do not want that to pass to Abby or Jack jr either. I think Abby should work things out with Jack and help him and also tell him to move on he deserves better. Jennifer is one who is slut she does deserve Daniel because they are both losers in this game. Jack at least cares about his kids, Jennifer does not care about her kids all she cares about is jumping into bed with Daniel having sex. Jennifer needs to be outed soon I hate her,

Jack is popular character with/out Jennifer and he does not need Jennifer to have story either and he chemistry with most of the cast why are they wasting him on that bitch Jennifer I really do not care if she is Horton or whatever but she is not the same Jennifer we used to love and yes Jack has changed I am glad that he is not playing games or anything he wants his family back but Jennifer is not making things easy for him. I really want Jack to find out what she is with Daniel 3 months date and sex with him and I really want Jack to let her have it and move on with someone else because he deserves better life without Jennifer and if she keeps playing games with Jack and playing kissy face with Daniel then I want to tell her it is over btw them only they will meet for their kids sake. Jack has put his life on hold because of his love for Jennifer but she is not devoted him she wants relationship like Bo and Hope so let her stay with Daniel and suffer big time and let Jack move on with his, I want him to get the paper back and all and new love interest I do not want to scheme to get her back either by making her jealous I want him to really seriously move on and make Jennifer realize he does have life without her and let her realize her mistakes that she has been acting like total selfish bitch and she even turn his own sister against her brother so Jennifer can earn sympathy points. For once I want someone to go against Jennifer I hope someone from her side of the family maybe Hope and Bo because she is acting like stupid bitch siding with Dr Sleaze. Jennifer deserves that loser. Free Jack from Horton slut.

I hate when they ruin Jack so they can please that loser Daniel for Jennfier it is disgusting. I am not fan of Jennifer anymore she is ruined in my eyes. I really think they need to let Jack move on without her and get his life back and his children and the paper back and new love and let Jennifer suffer with Mr Perfect then find out that he is not saint at all he is sleaze and let Jennifer feel like real loser for trusting him and not Jack who has been very good and honest with her. Jennifer is one who needs to redeem not just Jack. She is not same women Jack fell in love with. I wonder if they will end Jack and Jennifer or what. I cannot stand her or Daniel at all. I am sick tired of Bo and Hope badmouthing Jack when they do not know what really happen to him and they are believing anything that the Dr sleaze is saying. I want Daniel to be outed soon.

I do not think Jack is acting immaturely either if anybody acting immature it is Jennifer and Daniel both act like stupid teenagers and they were both rebound too. I think Jack should move on and let Jennifer stay with Mr boring they deserve each other I am not Jennifer fan anymore unless she gets her brain reexamine again. I think that Billie and Jack or Nicole should get paired up. They have let Jack be more mature and get away from Jennifer for awhile.

I really want Jack to get out this stupid love triangle with Jennifer and Daniel I do not think she not worth fighting for anymore. I want Jack move on for real there were plenty of women for him and he has chemistry with them too I am tired of the writers making Jack just about Jennifer all the time, I want Jack to have life without her too stop making him sexless too make him sexy and hot for women notice and let Jennifer see that Jack can move on without her and new love. I am sick tired of Jennfier and her losers she can have all them and let Jack be free of Jennifer for awhile and if wants Jack let her be one to win him back on her own. I want Jack to be prize this time. Bring Cassie Brady or Billie Reed or Nicole or Greta and let Jennifer be stuck with Dr Sleaze for all care.

I do not want Jack to take Jennifer back until she admits her flaws this time because she is not worthy of him either I am tired of Jack getting the blame for everything and she just let him take it well Miss Perfect deserves to be with that loser Daniel I want Jack to move on with his children and the paper and maybe hook with Nicole for awhile and if Jennifer admits her flaws and learn to trust Jack and she has to earn the trust back with Jack as well then they can get back together. I am tired of her goody shoe acts Jack deserves better now.

I want see Jennifer lose Jack to someone else I mean if she cannot fight for Jack then she is not worthy for Jack. I hope Jack has sex with Nicole if that is case. I never see Jennifer without man at all. Jennifer deserves to be miserable with Daniel she can have loser to herself. Jack deserves better.

I want see Jennifer lose Jack to someone else I mean if she cannot fight for Jack then she is not worthy for Jack. I hope Jack has sex with Nicole if that is case. I never see Jennifer without man at all. Jennifer deserves to be miserable with Daniel she can have loser to herself. Jack deserves better.

Jennifer deserves that loser daniel I hope he cheats on her she deserves everything that is coming to her I want Jack and Nicole pairing too let Jennifer pine for Jack for once not other way around. I know Jack will always love Jennifer but he can have another women too fall in love with her since Jennfier is with that loser I want Jack to have someone too. We have hot romance for Jack.

I am sorry to say this but I think that Bo, Hope and Jennifer are three hypocrites they think they never did anything wrong especially Jennifer after three dates she slept with Dr loser. I hope they all free like real losers when they fine out what Jack was up too. I really want see Daniel be outed for sure. I want Jack to be with Nicole during Christmas maybe kiss her too not make Jennifer jealous but have real relationship with women not 40 year old teenager like Jennifer whines like bitch. Jennifer deserves that loser and his baby if she ends up pregnant with Daniel child she should leave with him if her contact goes up and let Jack stay in Salem have his own story and he needs own love story too and his family support.

I hope once Jack gets better he will not forgive Jennifer this time I mean she gave him hell now I want Jack to give her hell for moving quickly and divorcing him without knowing all facts and that he is moving on and getting out of this love triangle with Jennifer and should stay with Daniel if that is what she wants and he is not going to beg for her anymore he is done suffer enough. I wnat him get his colife back and the paper and new women either Nicole or Billie and let Jennifer suffer with the life with Daniel and realize her mistake she made and dump Daniel and go back and win Jack back. I want two women fighting for Jack this time he is better prize than Jennifer. Daniel needs get life of his own stop being pathetic loser.

I hope once Jack gets better he will not forgive Jennifer this time I mean she gave him hell now I want Jack to give her hell for moving quickly and divorcing him without knowing all facts and that he is moving on and getting out of this love triangle with Jennifer and should stay with Daniel if that is what she wants and he is not going to beg for her anymore he is done suffer enough. I wnat him get his colife back and the paper and new women either Nicole or Billie and let Jennifer suffer with the life with Daniel and realize her mistake she made and dump Daniel and go back and win Jack back. I want two women fighting for Jack this time he is better prize than Jennifer. Daniel needs get life of his own stop being pathetic loser.

I hope once Jack gets better he will not forgive Jennifer this time I mean she gave him hell now I want Jack to give her hell for moving quickly and divorcing him without knowing all facts and that he is moving on and getting out of this love triangle with Jennifer and should stay with Daniel if that is what she wants and he is not going to beg for her anymore he is done suffer enough. I wnat him get his colife back and the paper and new women either Nicole or Billie and let Jennifer suffer with the life with Daniel and realize her mistake.

I hope once Jack gets better he will not forgive Jennifer this time I mean she gave him hell now I want Jack to give her hell for moving quickly and divorcing him without knowing all facts and that he is moving on and getting out of this love triangle with Jennifer and should stay with Daniel if that is what she wants and he is not going to beg for her anymore he is done suffer enough.

I am really sick of this storyline with Jack and Jennifer. They need something refreshing like when Jack comes back to normal i want him serious and darkside and new romance for himself and get his children and paperback but I do not want him to win Jennifer back at all let her be with Daniel since she slept with him and moved quickly then she needs suffer the conquences and see Jack move without her be happy.

I want jack to find out what Jennifer did with Daniel while he was struggling in the cave and also I do not want him to take her back until she proves herself to him that she loves Jack and wants him not out of obiligation. I want see Jack move on without her finally getting new women for him he deserves it. JJenennifer deserve that loser Daniel. I hope Jack kisses Nicole or someone new durning Christmas Mistletoe let Jennifer see that jack actually moved on without her feel his pain. I think Jennifer needs suffer and stay with Mr Bore.

I want jack to find out what Jennifer slept with Daniel after three dates while he struggle in the cave and dump Jennifer and find happiness with someone else because that is what that hypocrite deserves to be miserable with Saint Daniel. Jack deserves better than her. Jennifer is worst that Nicole. Jennifer is town whore.

I am sick tired of everyone judging jack at least he know he is not perfect and the man has been through hell and Jennifer is one who is slutty wife who moved on quickly with Dr Sleaze when he stole Chole from Lucas and she still dating him. Jennifer is stupidest female on the show now I hope Jack really gets therapy and stay away from Jennifer and Daniel. I do not want Jack to forgive her for divorcing him and sleeping with that loser. Jennifer deserves to lose Jack to another women let her stay with that pathetic loser Daniel learn what he did in the past and that he is not stable he seems. Jennifer needs stop playing games with men. I want see Jennifer and Daniel get what coming to them and I want Jack to stick them because both hyporcrites deserve it. Jennifer needs stop playing Miss Saint games.

I hope that once Jack gets therapy and all he will move away from Jennifer and get his life back with his children and the paper and new love interest and let Jennifer watch Jack be happy with his life without her and let her suffer big time with Dr sleaze and I hope he cheats on her too because that is exactly what she deserves for stringing two men along. I hope Jack for New Year kisses new women for him either Nicole or Billie or bring back Greta who really loved Jack because I want Jack/Matthew Ashford to stay on the show I do not want him to leave. Jennifer can miserable with Daniel serves her right.

Jack is most popular character than Jennifer she is one-note character has no value and boring as hell. Jennifer maybe Horton but she was never popular with other men than Jack. I think Jack and Nicole would be cool let Jennifer suffer with Dr Daniel and have Frankie come back both them can pine for her and let Jack be happy with Nicole on the show or Greta or Billie keep him away Horton Slut Jennifer I hate her. Jennifer will never change either. I hope Jack gets away from her and this stupid love triangle she deserves to be miserable.

I hope that Jack and Daniel come to conclusion that Jennifer is the problem and she is one to get hurt in this love triangle. I hope they both dump her sorry Horton slut self and move on with their lives. Jennifer does not deserve either of these guys at all she needs therapy for herself. Jennifer cannot be trusted at all. I want Jack to be with someone else and Daniel to find someone else they both deserve better and Hope should tell Jennifer that she should not have play games with both men or she will end up being hurt herself that is what needs to be done. She should not choose either of them for awhile. I do not think jack or Daniel will ever get their dignity back if they stay with this slut.

I am sick and tired of Princess Jennifer act I hope when Billie comes to town that she hooks with Jack because I do not want Jennifer near Jack anymore until she gets some therapy and earns Jack’s trust again. I do not want Jack to forgive her either let her suffer with Daniel. I hope Bo and Hope side with Jack after Jennifer abandons him and goes to Daniel because I am sick of her behavior.

They need stop making Jack look like fool and sexless loser to Jennifer too. I really want him to get new love interest and get his life back after he is cured and find out what she did with Daniel and divorce Jack without knowing all the facts she had sex with Daniel. Jennifer is one who needs to lose everything because I am sick and tired of her Saint Acts that she is pulling. Bo and Hope need to realize that Jack is not the problem here it is Jennifer who lying to everyone especially herself who she wnats to be with. I am tired of her blaming Jack on their marriage when she is also to be blame. I hope Jack and Billie or Jack and Madison or Jack and Nicole romance I am fed up with Jennfier she can Mr loser all she wants.

I am tired of this show making Jack look like fool for Jennifer. I cannot stand Jennifer anymore I hate her she is reporter if she wanted Jack back so badly then she use her reporting skills to find him but instead she went on and dated that Dr sleaze and divorce Jack and slept with Daniel now she stuck in this stupid triangle. I hope both men dump her she deserves it. I want Jack to really have edge and go back to the darkside and not forgive Jennifer this time she gave him hell let her have taste of her own medicine this time. I say let Jack be sexy and hot and have good romance with Nicole he is not that old compare to Victor, Jack is hot good looking better than Daniel.

I am not fan of Jennifer right now she is acting like cruel bitch and so is Abby she needs get over it. Her father suffering so badly enough he does not need two whining women in his life to give more hell. I want Jack to bond with Abby not Jennifer she can suffer with Daniel all she wants and I want see Jack move on after visting the Veterans and all I do not want him to suffer with Jennifer whining let her go to Daniel and let Jack be happy with someone else for awhile maybe Madison or Nicole or Billie and Abby should support her dad in this just like she push her mom to that sleaze. Jack deserves better.

i hope when Billie come back to town that she hooks up with Jack and Jennifer can have that loser Dr for herself and wish that she was with Jack instead and Jennifer has always been jealous of Billie so this would be great to see Jack and Billie interact again I hope turns into more than friendship I would love see Jennfier turn green with envy and Daniel probably wants Billie too whatever Jack wants Daniel wants so he maybe go after Billie but Billie does not want him at all. I think there is going to be Jennifer/Jack/Billie/Daniel love triangle in works.

Jennifer is one who need to beg for Jack to forgive her but I do not want Jack to accept Jennifer back right away I want him mad and hurt that she moved on quickly with Daniel and slept with him because there is no excuse for her behavior and she calls herself reporter that is a joke. Daniel can have Jennfier I want someone better for Jack that wants him and accepts him and I do not think Jennifer loves Jack the way she claims to be. Jack deserves better she can rock in hell for all I care.

I do not want Jack to be Jennifer’s lap dog anymore I cannot stand her at all. I want Jack away from Jennifer for awhile let her stay with Daniel have her Perfect life with him then she will regret changing Jack. I want see his sister Adrienne and others to support him and let Jennifer get stuck with Daniel.

Jennifer needs to honest about her feelings for Jack instead of leading him on thinking they have future together. Jack is not coward it is Jennifer. If she wants to be with Daniel then she needs to let Jack go and let him be able to get life back and the paper and new love but she just stringing both men along so she can have both attention on her.

Jennifer needs to be dumped by both men then that will teach her not play games with men”s affections. Jack and Daniel deserve better than her. Jennifer is not real she acting like bitch shrew. I do not care if she is Horton she does not treat men like that.

I do not want see Jack with Jennifer for long time he needs get away from her, Let Jennifer suffer with Daniel and get what she deserves for treating Jack badly. I do not want Jack to beg for her anymore she is not worth it I am disappointed in her character. Jack deserves better. Jack and Billie.

I want Jennifer get rude awaking when she chooses Daniel that Jack is heartbroken and leaves her and gets on with his life and Daniel decides to cheat Jennifer and Jennifer crys and gets mad at Daniel and Jennifer wants Jack back but he does not take her back this time tells her it is over between them.

They need stop treating Jack as sexless loser he deserve better treatment than this. I find Daniel as pathetic loser and he is not that sexy either sleeping with his patients I have no respect for his character.

This show is not going anywhere with Jack not there and the writers have no interest in showing him I feel this show will be cancelled. If Jack/Matthew Ashford come back I do not want him to take Jennifer back so quickly she has been unfaithful witch and shrew as well and I think it is time that Jack and Jennifer break up I think they need send Jennifer off with Daniel since she did the deed with him and everything they are both ruined already and pathetic and give Jack new love maybe Billie they can be new Supercouple. Jennifer is lost cause.

I like jack, he is my favorite on dool ,I also dont want him with jenn ,I havent been watching long enough to call jenn a shrew ,Is she ?but Im not sure if I like her or not ,the games that she was playing when he did come back I didnt like .so hopefully a new love interest for our favorite man is in the future,and seeing more of him would be nice to.

i really mad that Ken Corday fired Matthew Ashford again one my favorite characters we are stuck with boring pathetic Jennifer again with sleeping with another loser again. I really hope they hope they do not kill jack off again so princess Jennifer can move on to her next loser in bed I cannot stand Jennifer anymore she should leave Salem with Jack because she is boring and she not good parent to Abby she will just be statue or prop for Abby or Bo and Hope her storylines are boring. Please tell me when Jack last day i am done i wish it was Daniel leaving this show I cannot stand him at all take Jennifer with him. Abby needs her father at least he was there when Abby was being heartbroken, Jennifer was too busy with messing Abe campaign and obesssing over Daniel dumping her I do not know why they are keeping her she maybe Horton but she is boring and they will ruin her. I hope Missy Reeves does not renew her contract September.

I wonder maybe Matthew Ashford should go to General Hospital at least they hire vets and he can reprise his role Tom Hardy. I really cannot stand Gary Tomlin I do not trust him with Matthew Ashford (Jack) if they plan to bring Jack back I do not want it to be about Jennifer either or sending Missy Reeves out when contract expires she had her happy reunion in 2006 I really cannot stand Jennifer anymore I hate her. I want to see Jack back with new women for him or hook him up with Nicole they would be good they both have similar backgrounds. Jennifer she did not anything for Jack at all I have no faith in her redeeming at all her character sucks big time I rather they have Jack move on if he returns he has storyline potential he does not need Jennifer to make him interesting either. Come back soon Matthew Ashford Salem needs you badly and new love for Jack too no more goofy Jack or anything.
